REPORTS Councilman Gareau, chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) The committee met this evening. Present were committee members Gareau and Limpert; Councilmen Nashar and Kasler and Council President O'Grady; Planning Director Wenger, Law Director Dubelko, Human Resources Director Copeland, Service Director Driscoll, Safety Director Jesse, City Engineer Durbin. The report on Parcel E is as follows: ^ The proposal by Carnegie Management & Development Corporation for Parcel E consists of modifications to the approved Parcel E development plan. Mr. Berryhill represented the developer before the BZD Committee. There were two suggestions and modifications to the plan: First, the installation of a gate at the northwest corner of the site, which seemed to be anon-controversial issue to allow some point of ingress and egress at the northwest corner. Second, an issue as originally preserved was a brick paver emergency access point shown behind and east of the Target building fronting on Columbia Road as originally submitted before the Planning Commission. This originally was presented as a controlled access point which would be limited to emergency vehicles only and it was originally discussed before Planning Commission. The Planning Commission minutes reflect that this would have required a significant amount of removal of vegetation and trees from the site as well as changes to the mound and fence which were originally approved. That was modified after the Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Berryhill represented to the BZD Committee a change in the proposed plan, which instead of the emergency access point on Columbia Road, there would be an emergency access point fronting on Brookpark Road which would be 18 feet wide. It would not extend to the curb because a curb cut has not yet been permitted. However, it would extend to the right- of-way edge. This access point would be used for emergency vehicles only. The composition of the particular access point was not discussed by the committee although everything from concrete to grass-crete has been considered. The
